I am a fan of the British dance pop band New Order and they have a song called Mr Disco. I used to be on AOL and was Mrdisco101 but they booted me off for certain reasons and I got back on again later and became Mrdisco102. Everyone assumes I love disco music but the jokes on them!

Beacuse I love trains in oklahoma. my other name ( train boy ) was given to me from some kids at church while on a mission trip.

[n2mopac]

Mine was selected when I was modeling MoPac in N scale--thus i was in to MoPac in N scale, n2mopac. I am now modeling bnsf, so I would prefer n2bnsf, but they won't let you change id's here, so I guess I will continue to be n2mopac. That's ok though because I still have a real interest in MoPac as I grew up along a MoPac line.

The meaning is deep.

Mountain Top Brezes
Having Season's in the Sun
The Big Sky Blueness.

Actually, I like GN in the late 60s when they used the Big Sky BLue scheme. And I am a college student.

I sing in a gospel quartet that sings southern gospel style. Southern Gospel Singer. Not very imaginative I guess.

[RedLeader]

Is a StarWars thing... Yes, I know what you're thinkin', but no I'm not a nerd looking_Han_Solo_wannabe, not even a fan. I like the movies (specially Natalie Portman), but it was my first internet nick about 10 years ago and I've kept it.

those same numbers were the time of my curfew, I mean bedtime - years ago [:D][:D]

Andrew - using your method this is what I came up with... 677, but then again, I'm a lefty.

[dharmon]

Well like Ed and Paul, I let my imagination run wild and used my first intial and last name. On most other forums I use DH34 which was a call sign I used for several years.

Dan

[Paul W. Beverung]

Like Ed, no imagination. I tought about using Rotor Head. I flew helocopters for 7yrs. in the U.S. Army. I also thought about using my old call sign. I'm using that for something else. UH1-D-715 was the aircraft I was flying when I got shotdown. I guess I'll stick with my name. I might confusesomeone if I change. Probably myself.

[der5997]

DER5997 was the phone # at home when I was, for want of a better phrase, growing up. I've remembered it all this time, and so it may as well earn it's keep. DER= DERWENT, a phone exchange in south London in the era of named exchanges.

Isambard is the first name of a famous designer of steam locomotives, railways, bridges and ships, amongst other things.

Is that Brunnel? His design for steam ship screws, done pre-computer by at least a century, is 95% as efficient as the best designs for nuclear subs today. (at any rate the declassified data[;)])
